Our New Addition

No, it’s not an actual addition. Or a baby- don’t get any ideas! It’s a new rug that we snagged this weekend at Pier 1 (for $40 off, no less). Our fabulous new 5’x8′ looks nice and comfortable in our living room, and helps define the living area from the dining area (since they now share one big space).

It’s a tightly woven jute that’s actually soft to the touch (a lot of the textured rugs we like are just too crunchy to actually live on). And at only $79, marked down for $119, it was one of the most affordable rugs of its size. Plus the color is pretty similar to the new wood floors in the adjoining kitchen and den, so it’s nice to bring that darker tone into the living room for continuity.

Comments

It’s great to see how far your blog has come in the last few years as far as readers go (I’ve noticed the number of comments has grown quite a bit!). I read your posts daily and thought I’d go through some old ones since my hubby has taken over the remote tonight. Thanks for the inspiration!
